Chicago: War Protest March to Obama's 2012 HQ
Oct. 8, 2011 - On the 10th anniversary of the U.S. Invasion of Afghanistan a coalition of anti-war groups (www.ChicagoMassAction.org) held a protest to address the truckload of grievances, domestic and global, resulting from the Bush, and now Obama, war-a-palooza. The eventual destination of the march, which started out at Congress and Grant Park (scene of 1968 police riots) was the 2012 campaign headquarters for President Obama. Features the main speech by Bruce Dixon (Black Agenda Report, www.blackagendareport.com), remarks by Cindy Sheehan (not at march but speaking in Chicago the previous week), and street interviews. We follow the march as it heads up State Street, then over to Obama HQ at the Prudential Building. Dixon reminds the assembly that there will be protest actions organized in Chicago in May when the G8 and NATO (invited by Mayor Emanuel) will be coming to Chicago.

Hey You Billionaire, Pay Your Fair Share
On Oct. 10, 2011, a combination of five feeder marches gathered in Chicago's Loop to protest the Futures & Options and American Mortgage Bankers Association expos. The feeders represented constituencies for jobs, housing, and public schools. They generated a combined march of 7,000, and finally ended up at the Art Institute where the banksters were having a reception dinner. Here are selected scenes and comments from a big spectrum of interests affected by the dictatorship of capital being forced upon the workers of Chicago. Includes the march for homes/housing starting from the Hyatt, the Occupy Chicago location where the teachers union gathered, and the final convergence at the Art Institute. Street interviews. Also, interview/speech by Karen Lewis, President of Chicago Teachers Union.
